    Nope, Bon Scott died of "Acute alcohol poisening", drank too much.
    But, yeah, he was in the back seat (floorboard) of a car.
    
    Too bad.

    Jimi Hendrix did OD, but that isn't what killed him, he was strapped
    down to a stetcher,  he threw up, then choked to death on it because 
    he was strapped down. The EMT's were careless, and it could have
    been avoided. I believe it happened in Britian or somewhere else
    in Europe.

    Yeah, Hendrix got wasted in England.

    
    		i knew it was either Jimi or Bonzo that choked to
    	death on his own puke,or maybe both, does anybody know

    were still around.

    Hendrix: He died in Germany.  Apparently German 'ludes are made
    to be broken into quarters before being taken.  Jimi did 4 times
    the amount of the drug he thought he was taking.  He passed out,
    vomited, and choked to death.  There were medical people around
    but they didn't clear his throat.
    
    =Matt=

    re:376.23 
    
    Jimi Hendrix's cause of death was suffocation due to babituate
    intoxication. This means that he chocked on his own vomit. Jimi
    was at his girlfriend's apartment at the time of his death. ( can't
    remember her name). Early in the evening of his demise he had taken
    some sleeping pills,he then proceeded to drink quite a bit of wine,
    followed again by Jimi taking more sleeping pills. Jimi and his
    girlfriend then went to sleep. His girfriend awoke early and went
    to the store for a paper or something. When she retured she noticed
    that Jimi was in a strange position and that there was a strong
    smell of vomit in the air. She tried to wake Jimi but could'nt
    so she called Eric Burden(then of War before the Animals) who alerted
    her to call an ambulence. The rest is history...

        I have heard lately that Hendrix may have commited suicide.
    I don't remember the whole story around his death, I have the
    newspaper report somewhere. I kept it along with the story of
    Jim Morrison's death. Also I seem to have heard that Hendrix
    was at Eric Burdon's place at time of death. Does anyone know
    for sure? I'll see if I can find the article.

    Well, he if he *was* drinking wine and taking tablets then he near
    as dammit did commit suicide.

    Late one cold night during a party,after drinking extremely heavily,
    Bon Scott decided to get some sleep in a car parked out side.He
    was passed out on his back and suddenly vomited.Being unable to
    move from his position,he sufficated.That's the real story.Bon
    Scott was quite a character.

"Pretty Woman", "Only the Lonely" and "Running Scared". Also had a 
whole truckload of other songs that he wrote for other people.

    From what i've heard he was going for a joyride in a small plane
    with some lady. The plane ran into problems while landing and the
    wing caught ozzy's tour bus. I'm not sure if the plane exploded,
    it depends which story you read or believe. I'm not sure of the
    when, it was around 1982 or 83.

    It was Friday, March 19th, 1982 at about 6am in the morning.
    
    The road crew and band were en route from a concert the following night
    in alabama to one in FLA.  They made a stop over at an airfield for
    refuel or something.  The bus driver of one of the rigs had a plane
    there, so he invited Randy and the bands hairdresser for a ride.  he
    was being a jerk and was buzzing the tour bus with the band inside (to
    wake them up?).  Anyway, on one pass the plane's wing clipped the bus
    and sent the plane spinning head over heels into a nearby house.  I
    remember it was one of the saddest days of my life.  He died exactly
    two weeks before his sceduled show at the Boston Garnen (on Friday,
    April 2nd, 1982).

    Most missed rocker?
    
    Right now, for me, that's Eric Johnson!

    
    	Did he die?
    

>    	Did he die?
    
    No, but he sure seems "missing".
    
    It's been like 5 years since the last album.
    

    
    	That's what I thought you meant.
    
    	Same here.
    

    	Not the most missed, but Nichollis "Razzle" Dingley. The drummer
    from Hanio Rocks, who died in a car crash with Vince Neil. I think
    Hanio were right on the verge of makin' it big. The disbanded, after
    the death, and haven't really done anything since. (Micheal Monroe
    solo and Cherry Bombs)
    
    	But atleast it wasn't Vince...
    
    	Bobby T

    
    oh yeah,thats right...Vince killed Razzle and got let off with a
    pathetic sentence.Nuclear Assault wrote a song about that whole
    deal with the sensitive title of "buttf*ck.
    
    
    
    						ian

    
    	No offense, Bobby, but rightfully it should have been Vince
    	and not Razzle.  Would've served him right, anyways.
    

    
    Vincey boy was outta his tiny little mind on some illegal substance at
    the time.....
    
    
    						Ian

    
    	I believe he did community service for DWI due to that incident.
    

    
    	Hey come on, Vince and Razzle were both drunk, its not like
    Razzle was sobber and Vince killed him. It was manslaughter (accidental
    death) Vince did 30 days in jail (18 actually with good behaviour)
    did probation and community service and paid out over 3M dollars
    (and not on defense like OJ) I'm not sayin that is a tough sentence
    or anything, but I mean it was accidental. Its very similar to that
    kid who was drunk with his friends and his two friends died in an
    accident. The prosecutor want to give the kid the max, but even
    the parents of the two dead boys didn't want the kid to go to jail.

    	Bobby, who was driving?
    
    	Can I rest my case now?
    

    BOBBY,
    	 You know I love the Crue as much as you but......
    
    Vince turned in to a complete loser on that day!  18 days for a celeb
    would have been a year for you or I!  That's injustice!

    The only reason he did the short time in pen was because he had the
    $$$$.  From what I heard, the judge figured it be better off he was
    out making money to pay to the victoms.. You and I would have done 
    much longer time, but then again, you and I wouldn't have had to 
    shell out 3 million. 
    
    Not to come to his defense, he did a bad thing, he got hammered and 
    in effect, accidentally killed his friend..

     John BonJovi....may he rest his Soul.  He use to be a real good Singer
